us. i. think the large concentration of litter on the beach poses an additional health thousand when the rescue swept out to sea during the storm despite this danger leon saw no and feel looming on cans or plastic bottles he found bay shows major recycling plants nearby where aluminum cans are crushed from both can fall through. leon paid a visit to the owner and manager of the plant there and you're garth i wrote

repeatedly to the washington usual suspects the president and the white house the secretary of defense the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff members of congress and so on here are two big and hopefully an action program with funding from my government but we've got. to be starting with the couple or you can. fancy or. call their. way here it says in a nutshell what i'm thinking is we should expand your operation clean up the beach on red beach one would be my primary objectives because my salty language but you can understand my anger and having seen this desecration of how the ground war on red beach leon had to go up an action plan for patients that included two phases the first would be to set up refuse containers and collection centers throughout

the beaches and employ local citizens the second phase would be to establish state of the art incineration systems that would recycle trash as well as provide electricity for the island leon's action plan could be used for any island based diminishing land sources. the local fiji television station taped an interview of your own story and his current mission to terrell. years and say. ok we will be. there it took me on his boat trip revisit the scene of the battle. i used to have a nightmare. i granted for years afterwards. i had some rather. fallen into the water and i had sunk down and there was a kid sitting on i sure my tank. he was a he he waved at me he and i are about twenty maybe thirty feet under water

and i was looking at i'm wondering what the fuck are you doing here he was sitting on top of the sherman tank and the koran was all round us bright yellow red blue car all those all around us and it was a kid very happily sitting on top of the sherman tank and that's a dream that i had for years. i had told my wife. if i start threatening ron but just leave the bread because i get. that kind of crazy i'm not aware of it but anyway. she she knew when i made those morning sounds i couldn't talk because of i began to speak i would drown i would swallow water later that day leon visited the residence of john and molly brown so she showed a movie about the battle for tara prior to a tour of the sights. over

the years the browns have collected munitions in their backyard a number of shells are still like. that right it. just for research. from fighting thirty remember just for. the still a long long long yet you know kick it please not a one of them are dangerous shells and weapons of all shapes and sizes

a majority of them american constantly turn up on pay she'll although these of cause deaths and injuries to the local population over the years there is no exact figure provided by the care about government by korda the local australian naval commander on the island still has the difficult task of dealing with world war two wards. the issue here is that all of those kids turning out how they got rid of everyone else that could be like i have at this hour i just stopped his kids tearing up or whatever and it's amazing what somebody you know that sort of thought of him or discovered it was that one sort of a trick or you know that i had standing upright. on the end of a bomb and i think it's a japanese woman are using it as i just want one of the children. you know leon was introduced to two australian ex-pats involved in exploring the history of the battle of tara. stan ghosh to his professional diver an addition their expert

and peter scarlett has lived on the island for over fifteen years stan has done hundreds of times off base you know and is employed by history flights on their two year program can survey the island from lost graves out there so there's a i'm trying i'm just looking out for the best foot or others in the way such a visually photograph. as that what's in the water i've been trying for is a picture of it that's the vision there's the whole city. the waves into sections there in the forty. degree from the battle still covers the island and every storm on earth the new ordinance stan showed leon a fifty caliber machine gun sitting in the water a few yards from the beach front home happily that's a that's a fifty fifty caliber machine. still hook up again we're talking played on the stand keeps a storage container full of the weapons and munitions he's collected this is going

for. sixty million more that should make it your way to us more and more what it is a lot more and add a little good. to see what the fees and the flow to it in the motor. of the lifetime of the still appears it will look like this. stuff most of the radio portable radio that was right out of a board game track already takes her this is a part of the job but from a supposed officer from chemicals that i got when i was a now tells me there's a big macon they can save a nickel couple of. reports of a minister and put the japanese talking on the fourth page for the main gun it's a thirty seven zero room still used the explosion room to them over and. over their head like this very carefully crammed with. by the

end of day to the ground commander colonel shrimp who had been wounded by shrapnel during his landing the day before rallied his troops to capture the airport runway as affectively cut the enemy defenses into. day three began with an easier landing of additional marines at the western shore as the american forces began to outflank the japanese defenders that morning a chance of that was taking place in the skies nearby. a flight of hellcat fighter planes on routine patrol from the aircraft carrier lexington accidentally intercepted a formation of twenty japanese he cried is based from the nearby morphologic. the japanese were on a mission to bomb and strafe the tower landing force. by ten o five that morning the americans had shot down seventeen of the twenty bombers and force the remaining three back to the basics the remains on the base here were safe

and potentially devastating casualties. meanwhile supported by reinforcements and artillery fire from nearby islands the marines used all means necessary to systematically take out the japanese defenders they slowly advance toward the narrow eastern tip of the ark. leon paid a visit to mother superior margaret sullivan at our lady of the sacred heart mission she showed in the declaration the japanese government that is at a just hours after they took over the island and now that you have and i am playing on a warning that japan was going to occupy these island all of a sudden they simply showed up as a right to die if that's really what i want to think about i think the descendant of those of the other nodded where they land and basically as his outreach to local officials continued leon and ted met with the minister of interior. more than three years i've been trying to get our government to do something about the

desecration that has happened to the beaches where so many americans died in defense of our country so out of. me was. just a lot of. little a little it was a. show that leon to take for fiji television was broadcast all the islanders. if. possible another different sort i think the number of troops and the big stuff i saw telling it was like everyone with a feeling for stuff. never did. all the time coming to think surely to come. but because i. still. i listen to. this to me kills many of the end of.

the world i did something helpless for something they just. simply because i checked. my. i one twelve pm on november twenty third of the island was declared secure over five thousand five hundred men lay dead on the sands one thousand one hundred thirteen were american marines and two thousand two hundred ninety one and only one japanese officer and two enlisted men survived along with fourteen korean laborers the entire island was a fast twisted wasteland of death and destruction. american and japanese parties covering the island were a mute testimony to the ferocity of that. one marine commented that it was the closest thing to dante's inferno you'd ever seen. it was

a hellish wasteland of destruction. literally covered with thousands of bodies and ordnance. now came the grim task of collecting and carrying bodies. general holland smith and the marine commander was reputed to have said later that tyrone was a tragic mistake. after the battle the marines would bury their dead detailed plot maps of the grave sites and within a matter of days return to their ships. meanwhile the burial were continued gun issues. identification was made more difficult by the condition and decomposition of several bodies and a number were lost at sea. i unfortunately had the unpleasant duty of attending

a number of burials at sea i can't remember how many at least a half a dozen but one stands out in my memory in particular the chaplain who was in charge of the burial details i was standing next to him after he said his usual words before we got big guy ends of the day and i said with a chaplain hasan who is a sky and he said we don't know and i said well his dog tags are in the sailcloth he said. and i can't imagine anything more that needs to be said other than they absolutely would serve ridiculous treatment in the us actually in different treatment was given to all these guys who had died in defense of our country. lieutenant bonded with a posthumous medal of honor winner for his following the battle would be buried in the eighth marines grave site number two the navy seabee

units which were the logistic backbone of every operation would then clean up the battlefield can quickly build the infrastructure to support an air force. this is a picture of the island after the c.d.c. cleaned it up and turned it into a modern air base you can see some of the temporary cemeteries there's thirty three twenty six twenty five this is part of the old pier right here the island basically had forty three cemeteries on it and and in building it into a modern air base they basically raced some of the senators. there we have been out has been working for the australian government as a contractor. he has made some unusual discoveries were building patients infrastructure he knew that there was one instance we dug like the wall the title of this is the one that stain very interested in and we found in the early incomplete discovered them still had a partial uniform boots watch and

a bit top because florida being the other is how might be a good thing the metal part of yes rather the rather the way a little the line in the front of the worse. part of the last one i was unclear just the side of it and nothing else up now. so you told somebody in a government u.s. government about this. project basically the project he probably meant to tell you the right off to. be had no limits organization but what happened was the the larger a and b. burns in that up and while office in a rush by. an oil rig bringing a draft or had a truck traffic growing type his back was on the side. and he was there for months and now found on such a letter to them it's going to so so i think they should what we should do with the

fire and then was a reply here which will as. we took him in for a awarded i feel almost like he's one of like can you know leon had spent months seeking assistance from every level of government to address the garbage situation that patient oh now we discovered something even more disturbing this hundreds of marines remains still lie in the sands of the island. just as we've been told by the guys we met with the. new one down on the ground almost anywhere you want to see the mortal remains of somebody japanese american he was introduced to the minister of health to cuba a present it's not simply i don't lie the things that i want to do to help you ultimately he was granted a meeting with the president of care and hope to talk a little andro with the employment of citizens of her who will will

assist in the in the monitoring of the refuse collection of your country and ultimately and won't be a state of the art incineration system. which will have a number of benefits of course. the brutality of the tar work campaign would soon hit home. when the american public began to see the pictures of the casualties and devastation and late december nineteenth forty three the gruesome carnage was so disturbing that some mothers demanded nimitz's resignation. was more striking was not just the heavy casualties but the confusion regarding the burial of hundreds of marines who gave their lives ataru the natural number of total missing people from this from this battle was five hundred eleven basically it's a very nebulous number there is

a huge distance here there's eleven hundred six people lost at the end of the war when the army came back the day nice people up and take them back to the states only three hundred ninety two are dead up and brought back in the states there's over. well over two hundred fifty probably almost three hundred people on the island today the quartermaster corps of the of the army made a reasonably diligent effort starting in february of nineteen forty six and winding up. may of nine hundred forty six go to find the remains of approximately three hundred maybe four hundred guys but. the report that i read issued by the guy in charge says that they could not account for almost fifty percent but if people who were brought back to the states those are real graves those are real people who were brought back but there was over three hundred that were never brought back and those people's names are still listed as missing in action today

although many of them we have pictures of their graves we have pictures of the maps of where they were buried and those people those families were never told here's your family member and return to the states those people are still lost in space this is a photograph from. bernard she leaves grave on the west side of the island near what was known as green beach and that's a photograph of his grave and he's still missing today this is someone named steve momar who no one even knows who he is and no you can't even find. a mention of him in any of the original rosters here's a picture of grave number eighteen with robert brand baseball norman jr frank eggs to see and henry lott so they're all still missing today. this is a photograph of grave number eleven where there are one hundred forty five graves

and only thirty two were disinterred this is a plot math grave number thirty three were four hundred people were were listed as being buried but in reality only eight hundred twenty nine are recovered. one of those people by the way is an alexander twenty men who was who won the congressional medal of honor in a doll of sorrow and into doing so he lost his life and he was buried in one of these temporary cemeteries and never found within it alexander bunnymen was one of four congressional medal of honor winners which also included first lieutenant william ward. and the only survivor of the battle colonel david chu. bonnie many many other brave men were on the islands mind when he paid his respects at the marine monument which has been placed in a parking lot away from the litter on the beaches as a fitting tribute to the many missing in action and still lost on this tiny stretch of coral leon pays his respects to

a special marine soames lies here he came with a close watch of his memorial a beautiful war all to those guys who gave their lives. in defense of their country and ours too by the way and the brits the australians in a row zero there's. no more allies here but soames is not he lives here or somewhere we're i'm standing i'm not on margrave i like our government recognized forgotten. and of no value. god rest him. and i feel very sad about him and his relatives. in the intense difficulty of world war two many people seventy nine thousand of them basically were lost in space this is an example of different branches of the service not being able to communicate effectively with each other and show where they left all

these people and this is not on usual island i mean this is an enormous mistake that happened during an enormously difficult time in american history and this was a reticence generation of people because after world war two many people does that all the time they get on with their lives and this issue is a done issue but in reality a lot of people's families don't feel that way leon in the crew finally head home where for him the work is just because. he's determined to fight until action is taken by our government i'm going to present the documentary into souter feinstein and hopefully have her take the necessary action have appropriations provided to chair or so that the garbage control program and the public education program could get under way before her or sinks under the ocean a couple of guidelines in the twelve thirteen island archipelago are not the most

beneath the ocean and it's only a matter of time maybe a dozen years or twenty or thirty years before the entire island group will be called a newish lives because there won't be any general. after nearly sixty five years of passed many unanswered questions remain hundreds of americans are still lost in the sands of a ship and there's a dangerous as well as disastrous environmental legacy that remains on this tiny atoll and many other islands throughout the pacific campaign. for leon powe where the battle is just beginning. the book.
